Painting Spring by Ida Kerkovious 1964. Screen printing, handmade paper. 35.7 x 55.7 cm
Ida Kerkovius (1879 - 1970), a Baltic German artist from Latvia, was one of the twelve children born to a German-Baltic family. She learned to play the piano at a girls' high school, then joined a private school in Riga. In Riga, she studied with Adolf Helzel and developed a good understanding of colors and coloring. She became an assistant and theorist at the Royal Academy of Arts in Stuttgart. Kerkovius taught foreign students and registered at the Bauhaus, where she eventually entered a weaving workshop. Her interwar income came mainly from weaving workshops and the secret sale of her art through art dealer Bekker vom Rath. During World War II, her studio in Stuttgart was bombed, destroying many of the paintings there. She was later appointed a member of the Esslingen am Neckar Guild of Artists and awarded the first prize for her work at the 1955 exhibition Ischia im Bilde deutscher Maler. Idas Korkovius' work put up for auction in 1999 was priced at a record $ 105,937.
